FULL STORY
======================================================================RingConn
's app has received an overhaul It has new AI tools and a better look The AI 
chatbot is lackluster 

RingConn has published an overhaul of its smart ring app, with it getting a 
fresh coat of paint and a substantial upgrade that leaves the app feeling 
like a much more robust wellness tool. This is excellent news for anyone 
looking to pick up a cheap option among the best smart rings , especially 
right now, as it's on sale for Black Friday . 

Starting with the obvious style change, the layout remains similar, but the 
various charts and graphs have been tweaked visually. For example, the 
wellness balance chart on the apps main page has morphed from its 
diamond-like design to a much more readable flower-like design. 

The corresponding petal is filled in as you improve your Activity, Sleep, 
Relax Status, and Vitals Status scores. Its very similar to the previous 
graph, except that its significantly more understandable at a quick glance.

Those improvements to glanceability extend to other aspects of the home page 
and stats pages but lets talk about new features. AI has come to the RingConn 
app in a big way with the introduction of Health Plans. 

The first of these plans to launch is a Body and Mind Balance plan  a Sleep 
improvement plan is apparently on the way, according to the app  and after 
answering a quick survey about your activity patterns, the software will 
provide specific daily targets for you to achieve so you can steadily morph 
from your current routine to your new healthier normal. 

Theres also an AI chatbot you can converse with, but as the app notes, it can 
only respond to fixed questions. Because of this limitation, its not the most 
useful as it repackages the insights the app already gives you. Still, as it 
develops, I could see the AI becoming a useful fitness companion. A reason to 
use the app RingConn Gen 2 (Image credit: Future) 

Since testing the RingConn Gen 2 for our review , Ive kept using the ring 
pretty much all the time  save for the week or two I had lost it (it fell 
behind my bedside table)  but Ive realized I increasingly relied on the app a 
lot less because the stats I cared most about were easily viewable in the 
Android app widget. I could easily check my sleep, activity score, and ring 
battery with just a brief look at my home screen. 

The in-depth insights were useful, but I often just wanted a quick recap of 
my stats and a brief guide to improving. The app's facelift and health plan 
tool is perfect and gives me a reason to open it up more frequently, as I can 
now get that extra detail and daily targets in a condensed, quick-to-read 
fashion. 

As I mentioned above, the Ai doesnt feel entirely helpful, but overall, this 
RingConn app overhaul looks to be a massive boost instead of a downgrade, and 
Im excited to see what improvements we get next. You might also like The new
